Mari Ijima - yes I'll admit I'm love all things Macross, but she is the prototype for all seiyu's IMO. Plus she sang some of the greatest songs in anime history. Plus her CD collection is pretty good too. She pretty much was Lynn Minmei in RL. it was really a convincing performance as a girl plucked from obscurity that became this larger than life idol. And I give her points for reprising her role in the dub and original.

I believe she's the only one with a bilingual MySpace account. Furthermore, nearly a decade ago she was a guest star in a television whodunit series set in Hawaii.

For my two cents, here's the rundown:

Mamiko Noto is the seiyuu equivalent of Tiger Balm, bar none: as everyone knows, her voice is smooth, soothing, and ethereal, even as her Nodoka Miyazaki tries to recite sentences in English in Negima episode 11.

Every time Miki Itou takes the role of my favorite heroine, she truly sounds like a blue-blooded heiress, or as a fellow fan said to me, possessing "a southern rich belle kind of power" whenever she speaks.

i was watching touch earlier and i decide to lookup the seiyuu for the character and i notice that Ms. Hidaka not only voice Minami but also Akane of Ranma1/2, Kikyou of Inuyasha and recently Near of Death Note. A career stretching over 30 yrs playing a wide variety of character in some of the better know anime of its time.

Most know her from Index as BiriBiri, but my first "contact" with her was via Minami-ke where she played Haruka Minami.
The first thing that came to mind was, "Kikuko Inoue's spiritual successor?". It's only later I found out she was BiriBiri as well.

I must say she has quite a range.

There is of course Kikuko Inoue famous for being perceptually 17 years old, voice for Belldandy (Ah! My Goddess) and Kasumi Tendo (Ranma 1/2).
Mostly plays gentle motherly onee-chan roles.

Another one I remember is Ai Orikasa, she was the voice for Ryoko (Tenchi Muyo!). Later I found out she voiced Quatre (Gundam Wing).
Has a deep voice, plays tomboys girls and young boys.

I'm not one to remember names of voice actors but Marina Inoue is one that has stuck in my head. Yoko from TTGL and Alicia from Valkyria Chronicles. Instantly takes the top spot.
There are more but I don't know their names.
